The eighth match on a busy Saturday of Premier League action sees Brighton and Hove Albion take on Tottenham Hotspur, with kick-off at the Amex at 17:30 BST.

Mauricio Pochettino has made two changes to the side that lost to Liverpool in Gameweek 5, with Paulo Gazzaniga (£4.5m) and Son Heung-min (£8.3m) replacing the injured Michel Vorm (£4.9m) and the benched Harry Winks (£5.5m).

The club reported that Vorm sustained a knee injury in training on Friday.

That means Kieran Trippier (£6.0m), Toby Alderweireld (£5.9m), Danny Rose (£5.9m) and Lucas Moura (£7.4m) have been recalled to the Spurs line-up after missing out (for various reasons) on a start in the UEFA Champions League defeat to Inter in midweek.

Dele Alli (£9.0m) is fit enough for a place on the visitors’ bench, meanwhile.

Brighton’s starting XI is unchanged from the team began the 2-2 draw with Southampton on Monday night, with Pascal Gross (£6.8m) missing out with an ankle injury.

Florin Andone (£5.0m) is among the substitutes for the first time this season having built up his match fitness over the last fortnight.

Harry Kane (£12.4m), still owned by around one in four Fantasy Premier League managers, leads the line for the Lilywhites. The England striker is only averaging a chance every 44.8 minutes in away league matches this season.

Glenn Murray (£6.5m) had the best goal conversion rate of all Premier League strikers going into Gameweek 6, having scored with four of his nine shots.

No FPL midfielder has registered more assists than Anthony Knockaert (£5.5m) this season.

Brighton XI: Ryan; Montoya, Duffy, Dunk, Bong; Stephens, Bissouma, March, Propper, Knockaert; Murray

Spurs XI: Gazzaniga; Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose; Dier, Dembele; Eriksen, Lucas, Son; Kane

      Now he has the assist to give him FPL 3 bonus points. Great match he has had.

        He's like a young Alan Hansen.

  5. SHOOTER MCGINN

    Periera + Lukaku > Trippier + Vardy?

    Surprised Periera was dropped and I thought Man U had found some form...

    Keeping Mendy. Can just imagine selling before a home fixture against Brighton backfiring.

    1. Drexl Spivey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Wait for Pereira news but yeah, Trippier the standout for me, or save some money on Wolves.

  6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Rose assist

  7. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Rose assist

  8. Fantastisk

    Smh

  9. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Rose should steal a bap or two off Tripps

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      More than happy with 9 don’t worry

  10. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Rose BAPs.

  11. theroadrunner
    • 9 Years

    danny ward nailed for cardiff?

    1. Hooky
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I think so. He's been banging the goals in so no reason for Warnock to drop him.

      1. theroadrunner
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        he has scored just one

  12. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Rose going to get the 3 baps off that assist.

    Review of options most FPL players were looking at to replace Mkhi (this GW):

    - Richarlison: Stiil to play
    - Ramsey: Still to play
    - Fraser: 2pts
    - Lucas Moura: 3pts
    - Maddison: 8pts
    - Lingard: 2pts
    - Milner: 3pts
    - Schurrle: 2pts

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Had Maddison and Wally, so went Fraser. Probably should have gone Richarlison in hindsight!

    2. Black Knights
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Milner didn’t start. I brought in maddi.

    3. tsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Did Maddison for -4 have

      Salah,hazard,Richarlison, neves

  14. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Wait, Lucas Moura was playing?

  15. windowview
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    2FTs

    Hennessey - Hamer
    Alonso - Mendy - Robertson - Wan B - Bennett
    Hazard - Salah - Moura - Fraser - Hojbjerg
    Aguero - Mitrovic - Zaha

    Mendy -> Doherty a good idea?

    I could also change up one of Moura or Fraser to Rich.

    Thoughts?

  16. Numb
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Own goal?

  17. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Come onnnn Tripp get another assist matey

  18. allaboutthemagic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Chilwell and dilva to Richarlison and tripp 2FT seem worth it? Leaves 1m ITB

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Could backfire as dilva will play next week

    3. Drexl Spivey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I wouldn't sell either.

  19. Ask Yourself
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    He ROSE up the baps fast there didn’t he

    1. Maddi Son
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      🙁

    2. windowview
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I Danny about that pun

  20. Numb
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Moura off again!

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      For real this time.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Lamela scoring again. Son back, Alli fit. Doesn't look good for him!

  21. Critical Observer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Ryan has been a bit of a waste of space so far this season, hasn’t he. :/

    Holding tight, though, I know better than entering the cheapo-GK roulette...

    1. SPorting
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Decent run coming up

      1. Chucky
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        that's the only reason I am keeping him...

    2. MTPockets
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah Man City should be good

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      3 - Rose (44)
      2 - Trippier (34)
      1 - Kane (33)

      Kane will get winning goal bonus as there's no chance Brighton score.

      1. pundit of punts
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Kane has deductions.

    4. AzzaroMax99
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I was in a problem, who to sell to get Richarlison, but after this game, it's definitely Lucas.
      Maddison is still getting points, while Lucas is simply a trash. It would give me 1.2 m to play with.
      Maybe even get Mendy back for Pereira if fit next week.

    5. Bucket_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      God I'm making some poor decisions so far this year.. the latest being B Silva, Salah + Mkhi out for Hazard, Mane + Schurrle.. derp x3..

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        The question is, how do you learn from it so you don't make the same mistake in the future?

    6. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Son, Alli, Lamela and Moura are complete no-no’s imo. As bad a risk as City miss and not as good

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        *City mids

      2. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I feel like Alli is pretty safe

      3. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Alli fairly safe. Won't do much, but safe. Him, Erik + 1 for the most part.

      4. MTPockets
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Alli's been injured, but agree on the others.

      5. Lets jump straight into it.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        If you were on a wildcard, list in order of points potential the players you would pick:

        a. Salah
        b. Alonso
        c. Kun
        d. Hazzard
        e. Kane
        f. Robbo
        g. Mendy
        h. TAA
        i. Mitro
        j. Mane

        1. Fred54
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          This like Scotty B on acid.

          1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            😆

          2. Sasquatch Slayer
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            So just like Scotty B then?

      6. Longlatini
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Kane does nothing but score a pen, I can hear the strains of ‘Southgate you’re the one’ as if it were yesterday!

        1. FPL Touches
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Don't make me cry.

            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Seems a looong time ago

      7. Fpl Old Guard
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        if only Lamela was nailed, no doubting his quality if he can get that run in the team

        1. internal error
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Even if he doesnt start, he can still score/ assist.

      8. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Lamela has 2 goals and 1 assist in 3 sub appearances and he got the assist against Inter. Worth keeping an eye on.

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          See above 🙂

          1. internal error
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            You are probably right

      9. Numb
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Brighton could literally play all night and not score here.

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          decent jinx attempt, won't work this time I'm afraid 😉

        2. Maddi Son
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Yes, Brighton are more likely to score because a poster named 'Numb' jinxed the game on the internet.

        3. Goat
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Brighton are 100% going to score 😉
